This artwork by Giovanni Paolo Panini achieved an unexpectedly high price at Christies in New York in October 2016. In the Old Masters auction, the work A capriccio of classical ruins with the Pyramid of Cestius beyond sold for USD 35,000.00 (€ 31,928.48) - well above the upper estimate of USD 20,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Giovanni Paolo Panini achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Rome, The Pantheon, A View Of The Interior Towards The Piazza Della Rotonda in January 2015 with an auction result of USD 5,317,000.00 (€ 4,709,477.41).
Oberer Schätzpreis um 75 % übertroffen
Dieses Kunstwerk von Giovanni Paolo Panini erzielte im Oktober 2016 bei Christies in New York einen unerwartet hohen Preis. In der Auktion Old Masters wurde die Arbeit A capriccio of classical ruins with the Pyramid of Cestius beyond für USD 35.000,00 (€ 31.928,48) versteigert – und damit weit über dem oberen Schätzpreis von USD 20.000,00. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Giovanni Paolo Panini erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Rome, The Pantheon, A View Of The Interior Towards The Piazza Della Rotonda im Januar 2015 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 5.317.000,00 (€ 4.709.477,41).
